Food always puts a smile on my face. It is something that comforts me, it fills that space of boredom, it is there with me at celebrations and it creates moments to share with family and friends. You must have food to live. This is a place to put some of my favorite recipes. Some healthy and some not so healthy.

GREEK CHICKEN BURGERS
4 6- inch pita pockets (I used wheat)
1 lb. ground chicken
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (I used reduced fat)
3/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
6 oz fat free plain yogurt
lettuce, thinly sliced
tomatoes, sliced
Cut off 1/3 of each pita. In a large bowl, mix the crumbs, chicken, feta, 1/4 cup mint, salt and pepper, and egg. Shape the mixture into 8 patties. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides and cooked throughout. About 10-12 minutes.
In a separate bowl combine the yogurt and the rest of the mint.
Fill each pita with lettuce, tomato, 2 chicken patties and some yogurt sauce.
